If youre going to try to bring in more just bring multiple bags and make sure you don't have more than one bottle in each bag. We usually get in 4 bottles that way... but be prepared to pay if you get caught. but don't pay more than $10 Aus dollars as they will tend to ask for $50+. What most people don't realise is that you can leave the extra alcohol with them if you get caught and ask for a receipt to collect it on the way out. They don't usually want to bother with that so if you offer them $10 and say no receipt, they will usually accept it and let you through. If you don't want the grief just buy Artisan wines while you are up here. It's the only quality wine made in Bali and it's made from fresh juice bought in from Western Australia. You'll pay around the Rp180,000 a bottle retail. Its the only local wine to drink while in Bali! Good luck!
